apartment complex, they say a door was locked, there was no answer but they could hear moving around inside the apartment. they say the tactical unit was call inside to kick in the door and make spriway into the apartment. -- entryway into the apartment. once inside they found two small children and they found the body of a female woman who had been killed. so far they do not have a suspect in this case, but they are investigating. again, officers are investigating a homicide here in owens mills at the chase lee apartment complex where the body of a woman has been found. that's the scene here in owens mills, now back to you in the studio. >> abc 2 news' sherree johnson is live there at the scene in owens mills. sheree, if you could real quickly, we've been going at this for 6 1/2 hours with police there, what are they saying for any possibilities in the length of delay and why they don't have a suspect in custody just yet if this was domestic? >>reporter: well, when they received the phone call, they received the phone call as a domestic disturbance, like there was fighting going on. so they're still looking for the suspect to see what exactly happened here.

factor in what the city needs for infrastructure repairs and retiree healthcare benefits. according to the report, if the city does not enact major reforms it, will go bankrupt. the 10-year forecast was commissioned by the city from an outside firm in philly. mayor rawlings blake is expected to propose financial reforms next week based on that report. linda stow, abc 2 news. it was a party bigger than anything we have ever seen. more than 200,000 people gathered to celebrate the super bowl champions, the baltimore ravens. you better believe, though, a big story was traffic congestion. it caused huge delays. in fact, the players, the coaches, the lombardi trophy, that's why they were late to start the parade in the first place. they finally made it to the start of city hall where things kicked off and with the help of the maryland national guard, things got moving. the team rolled through the city, sharing the excitement with those cheering fans. they were greeted by even more fans at m and t bank stadium. , a celebration fit for champs with some really unforgettable

moments. >> thank you. thank you for today, thank you for every single day. >> we've been through a lot this year, a lot of highs, a couple lows and you guys have stood there through it all, just like you always do. you're a special group, and we love you. and, hey, man, it doesn't get any better than this, so we appreciate you coming out today. this is awesome. >> the celebration wrapped up with john harbaugh and thousands of fans doing three cheers for baltimore and its sports legacy. >> any fan at the bank will tell you they wanted to see this in person, ray's last dance. the last dance for ray. he walked into m and t bank stadium as he was dancing with all those screaming fans, they erupted in cheers as soon as the first notes of "hot in here" were played.

he had a danceoff with teammates, but nobody can dance as good as ray. >> there's ed reid right there, there's jacoby jones, he got to dance with ray and now he's dancing on the cover of sports illustrated. here's a sneak peek. that cover shows jones returning the kickoff in the second half 108 yards for the touchdown. instead he said he felt almost like calling that return when asked about it yesterday. the headline says fear the bird, revere the bird. other ravens stars dwraised that cover in the past few weeks have been joe flacco, john harbaugh and ray lewis. there's still many unanswered questions about that blackout at the super bowl. many people want some answers. according to an energy company, an independent third party will be hired to investigate the incident and the company that manages the superdome. the 35-minute outage during super bowl xlvii set off a storm of speculation about a possible cause. this is a pretty big embarrassment, though, for the city of new orleans. the nfl says it probably won't keep the city from hosting another big game. this probably comes as no

surprise to you. you're spending more on your pay check on gasoline. the energy department says we pumped about 4% of our income into our gas tanks last year. the national average for a gallon of gas now sits at $3.53. that's up 17 cents from just a week ago, and, remember, we just had $40 taken out of our pay checks recently, so sort of a double whammy when you consider it. so with all that money you're spending while filling up, here's some tips you can do to save while at the pump. first, slow down. the higher the speed, the more fuel your engine burns. then pump up your tires. deflated tires increases friction and decreases fuel efficiency, also lighten up just a bit. we're getting worse with our gas mileage when you've got junk in the trunk, but we mean literal junk in the trunk. you may want to smooth things out a little bit. also accelerating and braking unnecessarily is a downer on your gas tank, and finally, turn it off. don't just sit there and idle. if you're in your car for more than 30 seconds, turn the car

off. 6:52 right now. the president will be in annapolis today and that means the transit will be operating on a revised schedule. roads will be closed for president obama's visit in annapolis. transit will need to reroute. if you want to know which roads are closed and how public transportation is moving along, head to abc2news.com. gun owners and those concerned with upholding the second amendment will hold a rally in annapolis this morning. it's in response to proposed senate bill. governor martin o'malley has proposed a gun on assault weapons and also stricter licensing requirements for handguns and improvement for mental health services. new york road runners will run up the empire state building as a benefit to raise awareness for all sorts of funds, but the major cause is those suffering from melanoma. the race is happening tonight. it will be up 86 flights of stairs. fans voted and we're finally deciding who is getting the boot. could it be the wheelbarrel,

but there are foods that i had no idea had so much acid in them. my dentist said that the acid in fruit, or fruit juice or fruit teas softens the enamel so that then it can potentially erode. once that enamel is gone, it's gone. my dentist recommended that i use pronamel to help harden that enamel so that it's not brushed away.
